> Captchas do not work in phpbb, every one of them has been broken. The basic problem with CAPTCHA, registration, etc, is that it erects a barrier to access. Some users would give up at that point and not contribute. Ideally, there should be a method that determines if someone is truly a person, and that determination should happen once, but work work for all forums. Is there potential for wine forums to co-operate with other forums (eg linux, firefox, openoffice) so that passing one CAPTCHA/registration grants access to a whole group of forums at once? This would increase the incentive for passing the CAPTCHA or registration, and people would be more keen to go to the extra effort. Also, if one forum notices a robot posting, they can ban it from all forums in one hit, allowing the effort of moderation to be shared amongst forums. nick *********************************************************************** WARNING: This e-mail (including any attachments) may contain legally privileged, confidential or private information and may be protected by copyright.
